Lobia masala or black eyed beans curry is a simple dish for weeknights. Lobia daal is also known as rongi daal. Vegan gluten free curry which can be paired with rice or roti as per your choice. I love having it with some bread too. My version of beans and toast. Punjabi style lobia ki sabji or rongi dal is for a quick meal. Simple rice and dal is perfect for a quick meal. You can make it in instant-pot or a pressure cooker as per your choice. It also needs less soaking than rajma and chana and is lighter to digest.

Notes

You may use the canned beans as well. In that case, you can just make the onion tomato curry and add the can with water in a pot. No need to pressure cook. Let it boil for 10-15 minutes.
Additionally, you may just use the store bought pasta sauce with canned beans if you need to skip the cooking process of the onion and tomato curry.
You may skip the spices and just use curry powder with salt.
 

Substitution

You can use white lobia or red lobia whatever is available. You can also make moong dal chilka in similar fashion.

FAQs

Yes in protein and in fiber.

Is lobia good for health ?

Yes , as it has a good amount of fiber. You need to take care with the amount of oil/ghee you are using in the gravy as that can balance out the benefits that lobia brings with itself.
